In Theaters Tomorrow April 11 2008- Street Kings, Prom Night, Smart People

Gonna try a lil new weekly thing here in the land of Devon Lohan. Giving our faithful readers a little heads up as for what's in store for them in theaters this weekend.

Prom Night - Donna’s senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life. After surviving a horrible tragedy, she has finally moved on and is enjoying her last year of high school. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. But when the night turns deadly, there is only one person who could be responsible…a man she thought was gone forever. Now, Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the sadistic rampage of an obsessed killer, and survive the night. Which she will, the killer will die, and so will 98% of her friends.

Yes, a remake. A PG-13 rated remake, to a horror movie that was rated R. Will I see this? Fuck no. Do I recommend you seeing this? Fuck no.

Street Kings - Keanu Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD Vice Detective. Ludlow sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews). Forest Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlow’s supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Hugh Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (Chris Evans) to track Washington’s killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington’s murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.

This sounds like an episode of The Shield. And since I am a big fan of The Shield, I will be seeing this movie. What I find really funny on top of this sounding like an episode of The Shield, take a look below.....
Smart People - Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (DENNIS QUAID) might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant – but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he’s as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenaged daughter (ELLEN PAGE) is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad’s misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne’er-do-well brother (THOMAS HADEN CHURCH) has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can’t seem to blah blah blah blah blah blah blah fuck this.

I think I am one of the very few people in the world that is not an Ellen Page fan. Why is she so great? She acts the same in every single movie, shes like the little girl version of Denzel Washington.

Ugh what a lousy weekend, May can't come soon enough.

  1. Yeah, I don't get the Ellen page thing, either. She just plays one character ( herself?). At least Denzel has done a couple.
